How do cats hear?

Cats can hear a very similar range of sounds as humans. However, they are able to hear much higher pitched sounds—up to 1.6 octaves above the human range and even more than dogs. It is presumed that cats gained this ability to hear higher levels of sound to accommodate hunting skills, especially for small rodents. The cat’s large and movable ears allow high pitched or ultrasonic sounds to be located and amplified.

What are a cat’s whiskers for?

A cat’s whiskers are used to “feel” just like we feel with our hands. They provide sensory input to the cat’s brain about vibrations in the air, so she can find her way through small spaces and measure distances. A cat can manuver its way through a dark room without bumping into objects by sensing with her whiskers. For this reason, you should never trim a cat’s whiskers. Doing so can disorient and frighten your cat.

Can my cat be trained to come when called?

Cats learn quickly to respond to sounds associated with rewards, like the opening of a can of food or the crinkling of a bag. You can teach them to respond to their name in a similar manner. Call the cat’s name and reinforce her behavior by providing a treat or food when she responds. You can get your cat’s attention by adding the sound of her food being opened (a sound she is already familiar with) to make the association with her name.

When your cat has responded to your call from short distances, now try calling her from farther away—like from another room. You will need to be patient until she learns the association of her name to the reward of a treat. Give her time to learn. Be consistent in how you call your cat and how you reward her. Don’t punish her—cats do not respond to discipline and can backfire the learning process. Don’t over do it—keep sessions short and give her long breaks. Over time your cat will learn her name and come to you when you call!
